It's always great being the lone left coast Steeler Fury representative watching these dismal late weeknight Pirate games out here ...

Was a good game at the start but the Buccos as usual failed to cash in on their early opportunities, and as Kingham imploded the Dbacks piled on.

Icing on the crap-cake was in the 6th when the Pirates had bases loaded with no outs and proceeded to send Cabrera, Bell, and Reynolds to the plate and all three stuck out.

It's threatening to become another double-digit bloodbath so I'm tuning out now (still in the 7th inning, approaching 1am eastern time - yikes!)

At least I was rewarded with this fun fact from the Bucs' announcing crew: the Pirates so far this season are 3 for 26 with bases loaded How is that even possible? There's your poor run differential in a nutshell. We've also lost 12 of the last 13 against AZ so it (probably) ain't getting better the next few days . . . Cheers!
